Nov 1 Ohio Supreme Court Candidate Forum (online), AAPI Phone Banking
The outcome of the Ohio Supreme Court election this year will significantly impact Ohioans - including redistricting, abortion rights, and other important issues. Six candidates are vying for three seats.
The Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 5) is fast approaching. To help community members learn about the Ohio Supreme Court candidates and make an informed decision when casting their ballots, the Asian American Coalition of Ohio and the Ohio Chinese American Association are hosting an online candidate forum on Friday, Nov. 1. We have sent invitations to all six candidates:
Justice Michael Donnelly (D), Ohio Supreme Court
Justice Melody Stewart (D), Ohio Supreme Court
Judge Lisa Forbes (D), 8th District Court of Appeals
Judge Dan Hawkins (R), Franklin County Court of Common Pleas
Justice Joe Deters (R), Ohio Supreme Court
Judge Megan Shanahan (R), Hamilton County Common Pleas Court

Phone Banking Volunteers
We need a blizzard of volunteers to call Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters! There are 200,000 eligible AAPI voters in Ohio. If every one of these voters show up to vote, it'll make a huge difference! Can you spare 2-4 hours to join our non-partisan phone banking? It’s very easy to use and the hours are flexible. We are trying to make 70,000 calls before the election.
Don’t forget to check out other events on the AACO website. Hope to see you at the event.
